What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, the section pertaining to territory can be found on page 37 of the Franchise Agreement. This is indicated by the page number shown on the image included with the text of Item 23. The specific details of the franchisee's territory are described on the Rider to the Agreement.
The agreement states that Carbones Pizzeria will not grant another franchise or operate a restaurant under the Carbone's Pizza or Carbone's Pizzeria name within the franchisee's territory during the agreement term, provided the franchisee is not in default. However, this restriction does not prevent Carbones Pizzeria or its affiliates from operating similar businesses under different names, operating outside the territory under any trademarks, or selling products to any party, whether inside or outside the franchisee's territory.
Furthermore, Carbones Pizzeria and its affiliates can sell goods and services that compete with the restaurant under any trademarks through other distribution channels, including the Internet, and sell frozen pizzas to customers and resellers within the franchisee's territory. They may also acquire similar businesses in the franchisee's territory. The franchisee is prohibited from delivering into another Carbone's Pizza franchisee's territory but can deliver to areas not yet franchised, ceasing such activity if a new franchise is granted in that area.
